BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE

Wroxton College was one of the best experiences of my life and I was only there for a short two months or so before getting sent home early due to COVID. Wroxton becomes like a second home to you and the class you are with becomes like your family. The staff is so welcoming and is truly always there to support you and help you move towards your goals. The opportunities you get here are like no other and it is honestly amazing. You get to live out your dreams here and travel the world. It is truly something special and I wouldn’t trade my experience for the world.

What was your funniest moment?
Having one of my friends yell “what’s ale” at the medieval banquet and having everyone yell back “drink ale” as they raise their glasses and take a sip. And can’t forget having to eat everything with our hands. Dressing up and pretending like we were back in the medieval times was such a fun experience and an unforgettable memory.

Best Experience Ever

My experience was cut short due to COVID-19. Even so, it was the best thing I ever did. I visited places I always wanted to and places I had never heard of. Those ones were usually the best. The professors went out of their way to get to know us and to make us feel at home. Everyone I met was so nice. At Shakespeare’s birthplace an employee knew every township in NJ and knew the areas we were from. People in the town nearby would stop and talk to us if we were walking around. A lot of store owners liked to ask us questions. I also made a lot of friends I wouldn’t have made otherwise. It’s a truly special experience.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
There were two nerve-racking moments that come to mind. One was going to the top of the Eiffel Tower. I’m deathly afraid of heights but I really wanted to be able to go to the top. I went up with friends and just forced myself to go up. While I didn’t go to the edge I was able to see the view from the top. After that, everything I did after that seemed short in comparison which probably would’ve freaked me out before the Eiffel Tower.

I was also afraid to go over to England. I was really excited but I had never been away from home for so long or so far away. I’m only 2 hours away from fdu so I could go home any time I felt like it. But both of my parents traveled abroad while they were in school and they talk about it to this day. I always wanted to travel and their stories made me want to do it more. It would give me an experience and another connection to my parents. It helped being able to contact them whenever I wanted. Knowing that and wanting to travel so badly made it easier to over come my nerves about going. Then when I came back I compared my photos with my parents and realized my dad and I took very similar pictures of the same things.

The Heart and Soul of my College Experience

Wroxton is without a doubt the best part of FDU. A semester abroad is not only accessible (as scholarships and aid transfer over as well as textbooks gifted to help offset the cost), but you are exposed to a multitude of cultural experiences. Every weekend the school takes you somewhere new- as part of tuition. I got to see not only England in all of its intricacies and details, but also Scotland, Wales, France, and Italy. Especially as a theatre major the experience is invaluable, as I saw over 15 plays in my time there. Overall Wroxton holds my most cherished memories and my college experience would have been sorely lacking had I not had the opportunity to travel and study in this beautiful place

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
I wish I had seen Versailles! Would love to go back :)

Beyond excellent!

Without my semester at Wroxton College, I don’t believe I would be the same person I am today without it. This experience was truly one of a lifetime and has forged memories, friendships, and learning that I will never forget. I chose to attend FDU because of their study abroad program at Wroxton and the staff there taught me more than I could have ever imagined. The opportunity to travel with the staff as well was very beneficial and made me feel safe and secure. My family also had the opportunity to visit and enjoyed every second of it. My hope is that this program and tradition continues for students in the future so that they can too grow and become more well rounded and experience different cultures outside of America.

What was your funniest moment?
Funniest moment was the medieval dinner where we all had the opportunity to dress up and laugh with one another.

My Best Experience <3

Wroxton College is like no other program I’ve ever experienced! I’ve never been more challenged, more prepared and more committed to education than my time across the pond. I firmly believe that Wroxton changed me for the better - opened my eyes to so many different people and the chance at opportunities that I would’ve never had, had I not attended. The staff was marvelous there and I couldn’t think of a better semester of college. The only downfall was that I couldn’t be there for a full year!

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Let yourself live! Take in every moment and experience.

Wroxton 💕

My one semester at Wroxton has been one of (if not the most) prominent memory in my academic journey. I hope it remains the same to future students, especially those that have never been abroad, away from their comfort zones in their lives. I miss every single person there, every lesson, every tutorial, every meal, and of course every tea time! It is a full package British experience that I doubt being offered in a similar manner elsewhere. It makes me smile every now and then whenever I recall what I referred to as ‘the best spring in my life.’

What was your funniest moment?
I have got unexpectedly drunk on mead and wine during our Medieval Banquet .... It was one of the most special-occasion dinner at Wroxton!

Wroxton college

Wroxton college was my best experience of college and I would recommend it to anyone. You become a family while staying in the abbey and you are given opportunities to find yourself and become independent. It is an easy and accessible way to travel and learn many new things from a different perspective. All of the professors and staff love the students and want the best for everyone. They do their best to make it feel like a home and it does. They welcome everyone back with open arms and you can all it your home away from home.

What was your funniest moment?
The medieval banquet was an amazing experience and so much fun.

Wroxton College, The best semester of my college experience.

The many comments I got when I told people I was studying abroad were "The experience will change you". I could never have predicted how much. My Wroxton experience didn't just change me though, it shaped me into the person I wanted to be. From the moment I stepped onto the grounds, I was welcomed with open arms, into a place that cherished learning, friendship, and fun. Each professor took the time to really teach me, and help me understand each subject I took fully, even after I ended up being sent home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They helped me learn but also treated me like a person. It was the first time that I felt the professors truly wanted to get to know me as a person. I also ended up meeting some of the greatest friends I have ever had. We bonded over our experiences and travels. I only have the staff, professors, and the Spring 2020 class of Wroxton to thank for helping me become the confident person that I always wanted to be.

If you did this all over again, what's one thing you would change?
People ask me this question a lot. Mostly in the context of if you went back to applying for the Spring 2020 semester with the knowledge of how it was going to end, with the COVID pandemic, would you still apply, or would you wait to apply? My answer to them is always, yes I would still apply. The entire experience was worth only being able to have for half the semester and I would do it all again in a second. Wroxton is my home. I couldn't think of a better place to study. That half-semester was the best experience I have ever had, and I don't say that about much. Every day I miss it and I think about going back. When this pandemic is over, know that I plan to try and go back.
